Package Contents

expliot.core.common.bstr(byts)

Convert bytes or a bytearray object to a string.

Preserving the binary data as is.

Args:
byts(bytes or bytearray): A bytes/bytearray object that needs to be

converted to binary string.

Returns:

str: The converted string that preserves the binary data as is.

expliot.core.common.recurse_list_dict(obj, callback, cbdata, rlevel=0)

Iterate through a list or a dict recursively.

Calls the callback method at three places while iterating: 1. If the object is a dict, for each key, value pair

  1. If the value is a dict or a list - callback()

  2. If the value is not a dict or a list i.e. a leaf - callback()

  1. If the object is a list, for each value

    1. If the value is not a dict or a list i.e. a leaf - callback()

Args:

obj (list or dict): The list or dict object that has to be recursively iterated. callback (method): The callback method that has to be called. cbdata (opaque): This is passed to the callback and is opaque for this method rlevel (int): Recursion level of the method. Call MUST NOT pass any value to this

as it is initialized to zero by default.

Returns:

Nothing

Callback method prototype: def mycallback(cbdata, robj, rlevel, key=None, value=None):

Args:

cbdata (defined by callback): This callback method’s specific data. robj (list or dict): The list or dict object at the specified recursion level.

This object may be updated by the callback, which means the original obj passed to recurse_list_dict() will be eventually updated.

rlevel (int): The current recursion level at which this callback instance is called. key (str): The key if the robj is a dict. value (can be any type): 1. The value of the key if robj is a dict or

  1. A value from the robj if it is a list

Returns:

Nothing
